^^^^^
I have this same drive, and have gotten it to partition over, and that is
what the cyls look like. Unfortunately I have had it get eaten three times
now when it gets near the end, I had it partition into two parts, a 19 gig
and a 17. When I started writing near the end of the drive the kernel goes
bonkers, cruds out, panics, reboots then comes back up, can't get through
fsck, run manually, run an fsck -y so it just cranks, eventually seg faults
out, happened to me three times and lost all data on the second partition,
not sure exactly what to do about this situation. I assume this isn't
anything defective with the drive and is just a problem with something with
bsd. Anybody know a fix for this?
